Inhabitants of the North African Maghreb region who identify as Arab
Maghrebi Arabs (Arabic: العرب المغاربة, romanized: al-‘Arab al-Maghariba) or North African Arabs (Arabic: عرب شمال أفريقيا, romanized: ‘Arab Shamal Ifriqiya) are the inhabitants of the Maghreb region of North Africa whose ethnic identity is Arab, whose native language is Arabic and trace their ancestry to the tribes of the Arabian Peninsula.[1] This ethnic identity is a product of the centuries-long Arab migration to the Maghreb since the 7th century, which changed the demographic scope of the Maghreb and was a major factor in the ethnic, linguistic and cultural Arabization of the Maghreb region. The descendants of the original Arab settlers who continue to speak Arabic as a first language currently form the single largest population group in North Africa.[2]
